Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Victorian writing tables are characterized by solid timber construction, typically utilising mahogany, oak, or walnut. Key structural features include rectangular tops with moulded edges, shallow frieze drawers fitted with turned handles or brass locks, and substantial turned or carved legs.

Craftsmen primarily used high-density timbers such as West Indian or Cuban mahogany, European oak, and walnut. Secondary woods like pine or mahogany veneers were used for drawer linings, while castors and locks were manufactured from cast brass.

Authentic pieces feature hand-cut dovetail joints on drawer linings, hand-turned timber components, and period-correct brass hardware. Markings such as maker stamps, paper labels, or stamped serial numbers on the drawer edge or underside can also confirm origin.

A classic mahogany table functions effectively as a slim laptop desk in a modern home office or as a console table in an entryway. Contrast dark wood tones against neutral contemporary wall palettes or pair the table with modern lighting and artwork.

Maintain polished timber surfaces by dusting regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and applying a high-quality beeswax polish once or twice a year. Keep timber away from direct heat sources and direct sunlight to prevent drying out, warping, or colour fading.
